engraving presents only the general out
line of the two kinds of gun; the shoulder gun
will throw a line 100 yards long, and the
brass gun mounted ON a carriage will throw
one n little over a quarter Of a mile long. In
the experiments recently made at Tilbury

could be directed with the accuracy OF a shot
from a rified canno and fall across a vessel
without even being singed, thus establishing
immediate connection between ship and shore.
